To determine how long it will take to walk from home to school, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]
In your case, the distance is 4 miles and your walking speed is 3 miles per hour. Plugging in these values:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{4 \text{ miles}}{3 \text{ miles per hour}} = \frac{4}{3} \text{ hours}
\]
To convert hours into minutes, multiply by 60 (since 1 hour = 60 minutes):
\[
\frac{4}{3} \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes per hour} = \frac{240}{3} \text{ minutes} = 80 \text{ minutes}
\]
Therefore, it should take you **80 minutes** to walk from home to school.
